Bitparking Namecoin Mining Pool [30 GHash/s]

[doublec]

I started a pool for mining namecoins. It uses standard bitcoin miners and is share based like other pools. Miners solve difficulty 1 shares and get a proportion of the generated coins based on their contribution. The pool takes a 3% fee and coins are available for withdrawal immediately a block is generated - no waiting for maturity.

Details are at the Bitparking Namecoin Pool Page. Basically you point your miner to the server at http://bitparking.com:9098 and use a Namecoin address as your username. The password can be anything. Withdrawals are only available to that Namecoin address. To withdraw, go to http://bitparking.com/pool, enter the address in the form and press the button. That takes you to your miner statistics. There will be a withdrawal button there if you have any coins.

Information on setting up a namecoin client to create the address you need can be found in my  blog post about namecoins

DiabloMiner works good under Macosx!

I've got some problem with the cellminer (PS3 miner),

Code:

 500 Internal Server Error (RestClient::InternalServerError)

Thanks, I'll try and track the problem with cellminer down.

I've got some problem with the cellminer (PS3 miner),

It looks like cellminer is sending a Content-Type of application/x-www-form-url-encoded (which is standard for POST requests from HTML forms). This is upsetting my server since it expects the POST data to be in name/value form pairs. Can you change cellminer to send no content type or to send application/json?

Ok,
for those interested, I've changed the line 81 (bitcoin.rb)

Code:

headers = {}

with this

Code:

headers = {:content_type => 'application/json'}

I am not the owner of the code.

Now it works with your pool!

First start namecoind, then open another terminal windows and run

Code:

namecoind listreceivedbyaddress 0 true

You should see something like this if you are on windows:

Code:

C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator\Desktop\namecoin_win32>namecoind listrec
eivedbyaddress 0 true
[
    {
        "address" : "N9AsWmgxkhQtRLeoTsjVYxPcm3GyGFSh5T",
        "account" : "",
        "label" : "",
        "amount" : 1.77000000,
        "confirmations" : 1
    },
]

sweet i'm in.

[Nythain]

whats the namecoin difficulty looking like these days... still feasable to contribute to a pool or solo mine with a cpu? or has it progressed to gpu time already?

[Nesetalis]

i'm providing with cpu, and getting nowhere :p only 3 shares put in.. and the site doesnt say i put any in.

[Orcworm]

Seems to be running perfectly with 'minerd', hopefully my server's i7-920 will be able to net me some of these namecoins before the difficulty spikes ;p.

It looks like there are problems using ufasoft's miner. I'm looking into it.

It's currently 290. I solo mined on my old nVidia (50MH/s) and got 3 blocks overnight. 

[Nesetalis]

er no currently it is  589.64331461

Thanks to Nesetalis' help tracking this down, ufasoft should now work fine.

Someone is mining in the pool with an address of N5gW....4z3 but they've got a spurious '.NameCoin' appended to it. Possibly they intended for this to be the password? This means you won't be able to withdraw your coins since the address is invalid. PM me when you've changed your address and I'll fix things up.

[fpgaminer]

It won't let me withdraw anything. I click withdraw and it just goes back to the homepage without sending anything (I checked my wallet, and it also continues to list the balance).

er no currently it is  589.64331461

Oops! Guess my client was a little out of date. It was 290 a few days ago  Those were happy times ... Actually 589 still isn't that bad either.
